Профессиональное обучение

描述

Regular in-service training of land use specialists and farm managers in the fields of sustainable land use management, and monitoring in the agrarian sector.

Aims / objectives: By, as well as improved linkages of the agricultural consulting systems with universities and vocational training facilities,

Through targeted improved knowledge transfer, the Vocational Training Center is strengthening links between the agricultural consulting/ advisory systems, universities and vocational training facilities. The aim is to enhance capacity building and knowledge transfer for a better consultation / advisory system, especially. This concerns alternative conservation measures and SLM in rural areas. The centre and members of the different sub-projects of the KULUNDA project gave lectures covering up-to-date research results and on various topics, including SLM technologies (no-till and minimum tillage). Socio-economic and ecological impact was covered, as well as environmental monitoring. This took place at the ‘Barnaul Institute for Qualification in Agriculture’. These lectures are embedded into an existing training programme for young professionals within the agronomic service and extension service/ advisory service as well as heads of agricultural enterprises.
Through the targeted improved knowledge transfer between the agricultural consulting/ advisory systems, universities and vocational training facilities we want to strengthen the implementation of conservative conservation technologies in agricultural practice.

Methods: It is also planned to present project results on the topic of sustainable land management in the State Agrarian University in Barnaul, which is the main training centre for future agronomists. This presentation takes different forms – for example through poster presentations or conferences. The implementation courses material/ modules are partially running (for lectures at the Barnaul Institute for Qualification in Agriculture) or are under preparation. Furthermore, there is a plan to cooperate with the Altai State University to organise a seminar on the topic entitled “Laboratory analysis to investigate soil conditions”. Thus it helps to implement new methods of environmental monitoring into the current teaching program.

Stages of implementation: More recently, the project’s partner, the German company Amazone, has started an initiative of vocational training for young people in the region: these students are being given the opportunity to enhance their knowledge at the company’s production site in Samara and to learn about technical aspects of the two SLM technologies, namely no-till and minimum till.

Role of stakeholders: The measures are aimed at different stakeholder groups within the Altai Krai identified in the AKIS-Network (Agricultural Knowledge and Information System). The greatest importance is attached to the stakeholders of extension service and agricultural producers/ heads of agricultural enterprises because of the high level of dependency on the successful implementation of the SLM technologies on their knowledge and support. The managers who participated in advanced trainings are mainly from economically strong agricultural enterprises.

方法目标和有利环境

该方法的主要目的/目标
The Approach focused mainly on SLM with other activities (Knowledge transfer and capacity building not only in the field of soil conservation but also in the resulting socioeconomic and environmental effects and ways to improve regional development in rural areas.)

Improvement of technology adoption through: Capacity building, training and knowledge transfer. Awareness raising.

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: There is a lack of knowledge on current scientific findings regarding innovative agronomic methods like minimum and no-till and a lack of awareness concerning the importance of the conservation technologies for economic and ecological sustainable farming strategies. A big problem is that the system for advising farmers is not sufficient, although there is a state institution for this purpose. There is a lack of awareness about the importance of vocational training, and lack of international, scientifically-based expertise in the regional institution conducting vocational training.
推动实施本办法所应用技术的条件
阻碍实施本办法所应用技术的条件
  • 社会/文化/宗教规范和价值观: Insufficient acceptance by land users of new and externally developed methods. Historically-caused low levels of trust among farmers/ land users that, amongst others, limits the transfer of ‘good farming practices’. Treatment through the SLM Approach: Awareness raising, training and knowledge sharing for environmental problems due to non-adapted farming systems. Specifically targeted policies (e.g. provision of grants or credit for the establishment of producer groups) and awareness raising.
  • 财务资源和服务的可用性/可得性: High cost of new minimum and no-till machinery and difficult access to credits. Budget limitations are proportionately greater with smaller farms (highly variable yields reduce farm profitability, limited access to external funds) Treatment through the SLM Approach: In the training modules specialists were trained on how to improve the profitability, to work economically and rationally by implementing alternative conservation measures and SLM as well as by efficient personnel management in the agricultural enterprises.
  • 机构设置: Unfavourable framework conditions and low capacity of the administration to monitor the state of land and to enforce the soil protection law which would oblige land users to adopt conservation measures. Treatment through the SLM Approach: The approach did not address this factor.
  • 法律框架(土地使用权、土地和水使用权): Unclear land use rights. High share of rented land. Missing incentives to stimulate land users to adopt conservation practices. Secure land use rights motivates to more conscious care for the land and stimulates farmers to adopt better practices. Treatment through the SLM Approach: Discussion of the options to strengthen the role of ‘State Redistribution of Funding’ in favour of funding land protection. The existing land ownership, land use rights / water rights moderately hindered the approach implementation Our findings support the evidence that land ownership is rather a hindering factor for the farmers. It has several reasons. There are still some legislative and administrative weaknesses that limit the full execution of the ownership rights (non-defined borders, lacking cadastral registration of some plots, missing owners, etc.). When farmers face such difficulties, they are less willing to invest in the own land. Furthermore, around half of the land utilised in Altai krai is owned by the state (of that around 2 mil. hectares are administered by the Redistribution Fund). The conditions under which the land is provided do not require the farmers to adopt more sustainable land practices. As above mentioned, this would call for the strengthening of the land allocation criteria. Another aspect to be considered is the capacity of the state monitoring agency (State Veterinary and Phytosanitary Controls) and if it would be capable to control the compliance of the rules provided the land use conditions are stricter.
  • 了解SLM,获得技术支持: In Russia conventional/ traditional cultivation still prevails, although market for no-till technologies is fully developed and functional. Various machinery companies either have branches or production units in Russia. Treatment through the SLM Approach:

The planning of the approach was first of all project-internal in consultation with the head of the regional vocational training institute in Barnaul.
实施
Interactive lectures to agricultural consultants/ extension agents/ advisory services and farmers on latest findings and recommendations of the KULUNDA project. Following the lectures the participants could ask questions and discuss the various research results presented. In addition, brochures and USB-sticks containing project results and lectures were distributed.
监测/评估
Evaluation after the event through project intern discussions as well as interviews with regional stakeholder
Research
The vocational training is mainly intended to inform the audience (target groups) about the scientific results and their application-specific relevance by the scientific project staff. The audience is not involved in research work.
流程图

The chart is intended to show the importance of the vocational training by the 'Institute for advanced training in agriculture' concerning knowledge transfer and capacity building. Knowledge transfer takes place either directly or indirectly through the advisory service to the farmers. Due to the capacity building measures and resulting better knowledge of the farmers about conservation technologies this approach will better enable them to implement conservation technologies.
